Wrexham's fancy new pitch - a hooligan's perspective
Alright, listen up you muppets. Those bellends at Wrexham have gone and secured their third straight promotion, and now they're splashing the cash on a brand-new pitch at the SToK Cae Ras stadium.
The Pitch Upgrade
So, they've ripped up the old surface, chucked out the irrigation system and soil, and now they're bringing in some fancy stitch pitch with undersoil heating and new drainage. A bloody million quid they're spending on it!
They reckon it'll be some state-of-the-art, UEFA-compliant facility for footy matches. Well, la-di-da. They're even putting in new drains, synthetic turf around the main surface, and some flashy LED boards in front of three stands.
The Kop Stand Upgrade
But wait, there's more! They're also planning to build a new 5,500 seater Kop stand, complete with safe-standing areas and hospitality suites. It's been designed by some posh architects who did the Tottenham stadium.
Apparently, the new Kop will amplify the noise of supporters onto the pitch. Because that's what footy is all about, isn't it? The acoustics.
The Controversy
But, of course, there's controversy. Some fans are moaning about the design because it looks a bit like the England flag. For fuck's sake, it's a bloody stand, not a national symbol.
The Hollywood Connection
And let's not forget, this is all happening under the ownership of those Hollywood twats, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. They've been splashing their cash since they took over in 2021, and now they've chucked in another £14.3 million.
Who knows if that money is being used for these stadium upgrades, but one thing's for sure - Wrexham are gearing up for their first Championship campaign in 43 years, and they're doing it in style.
But let's be real, all the fancy pitches and stands in the world won't matter if they can't perform on the field. So, they better hope all this money is worth it.
Footy is about the beautiful game, not the beautiful stadiums. But, I guess we'll see how it all pans out, won't we?
